We have not the space in this issue to complete this lesson on Mormonism, but will give in the January number their doctrines as to the Bible, Sin, the Atonement, the Ordinances, Baptism, etc., the Priesthood, their relation to Civil Government, Polygamy and Mar riage, and Modern Miracles. (The suggestions given above are taken from a Correspondence Course on “Personal and Practical Christian Work,” by T. C. Horton, one of the many courses offered by the Correspond ence School of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. Further information con cerning these courses will be cheerfully given by the Secretary, Keith L. Brooks, S36 S. Hope St., Los Angeles, Calif.)

The ACME of knowledge (vs. 10, 11 ). We should be eager to ob tain greater knowledge each year, but the highest knowledge possible to ob tain is the knowledge of Christ. Paul knew Christ better than did any other man, but he longed to know Him bet ter. Not to know about Him, but to know Him. To experience the power, or the outflowing, of His resurrection life, to have a share in His suffering, conforming unto His death, perhaps literally. Christ died to bring men to God. We may have to. Surely this coming year we should seek to know Him better than ever before and thus press on in true knowledge (2 Pet. 3 :1 8 ). 3. The AIM or AMBITION of life (vs. 12-14). What are you living for? You must have a goal. Press on? Yes. But to what? Paul says, that though he is not perfect, yet his aim or goal in life is to lay hold on, or apprehend, that for which Christ had laid hold of him. If we are saved, it is because Christ reached out and laid hold of us. He laid hold of us for a definite purpose. He has a plan for each individual life. Our objective is to fulfill the plan that He has in mind for us. So, forgetting the victories and the defeats of the past, let us concentrate on the plan, making our aim— to apprehend that for which we also have been apprehended (Eph. 2 :1 0 ; Col. 4 :1 7 ). Against Little.— Leonard Bacon, who was one of the best-known theologians in New England a half century ago, was attending a confer ence, and some assertions he made in his address were vehemently objected to by a member of the opposition. “Why,” he expostulated, “I never heard of such a thing in all my life !” "Mr. Moderator,” rejoined Bacon calmly, “I can not allow my oppon ent’s ignorance, however vast, to off set my knowledge, however small.” ■—The Christian Register (Boston).
